Mexican Butterwort - Pinguicula esseriana - 9cm pot

A natural flycatcher for fruit flies etc. Butterworts especially rid your kitchen of these pesky critters.

Pinguicula esseriana is a fairly compact Mexican butterwort. In winter, the plant does not retreat, but the leaves are smaller and no longer as compact as during the summer.

Fatweed uses its fatty, sticky leaves to catch insects. The prey, mostly smaller insects, are attracted by the shine and scent of the catching organs (leaves). Once they have settled on the leaf, there is no escape. They stick tightly and are drained by digestive juices. The butterwort produces a large number of flowers that bloom for several weeks. There are about 70 species of butterwort worldwide.

Care:
The butterwort does not like it quite as wet as other carnivorous plants. It should be watered like a normal houseplant. A semi-shaded window spot is preferred. In direct sunlight, the butterwort can get sunburned.
